| Half of Dmitri Hvorostovsky's ashes were laid to rest at Novodevichy Cemetery |
A ceremony to bury the urn with part of the ashes of legendary Russian opera singer Dmitry Hvorostovsky took place at Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery on Tuesday, November 28th. More than 100 people flocked there to pay their last respects to the opera star, TASS reports from the site.
The snowy burial path to his grave was carpeted with roses. Next to Hvorostovsky’s grave at the end of the cemetery’s old section, one can see graves of renowned Soviet writers, singers, poets and state activists.
According to Hvorostovsky’s last will, his body was cremated and the ashes were placed into two urns. One has been buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery (the final resting place of the most outstanding artists, cultural personalities, scientists, politicians, and military heroes), and the other will be flown to his home town of Krasnoyarsk, Eastern Siberia.
Hvorostovsky, who is broadly viewed as one of the greatest opera baritones of our times, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the summer of 2015. He quit the opera stage in 2016 but carried on with concerts. Hvorostovsky died of brain cancer at the age of 55 on November 22 in London where he lived with his family.

Dmitri Hvorostovsky is gone to what we know as life,
ReplyDeleteimmortalized near the great artists of his nation. His music,
however, will remain and the love for his music will always
be part of my life. Farewell, dear angel and demon
as not even eternity's kiss can ever silence you.
Still devastated. There is an obscure British TV programme called "Aria & Pasta" where Dmitry participated as guest star in December 2000. Find it and watch it. The sheer utter loveliness, sweetness and gorgeousness of Dmitry as he is cooking, chatting, joking and completely bewitching the presenter is almost too much to bear in this sad time, but still it does make me smile through my tears. Farewell Dima we will never forget you!!!
